Bucher MaxPowa V65

The MaxPowa V65 sits between the V50 and V80 in Bucher Municipal's V series of truck-mounted sweepers. The hopper holds 6.5 m³, and the 1575-litre water tank is integrated in the hopper. It fits chassis with a gross vehicle weight from 13 to 18 tonnes and a nominal wheelbase of 3150 mm.

The V65t has its own auxiliary engine that drives the sweeping functions and the fan independently of the truck's engine: JCB Dieselmax 430 Stage 5 with 55 kW and 440 Nm as standard, or JCB Dieselmax 448 with 97 kW and 550 Nm. Outside the EU, a JCB 444 Stage 3a with 85 kW is also available. The V65h has Bucher's patented hydrostatic driveline, designed for chassis up to 16 tonnes, with infinitely variable speed of up to 40 km/h. The V65m is driven by the chassis power take-off and delivers full suction power at 1000 rpm on the truck engine. The V65t is also available as a demountable unit, so the chassis can be used for winter equipment when the sweeper body has been removed.

The hopper is made of 4 mm stainless steel 1.4003 with a 54° discharge angle and 125° door opening. The sweeping width is 1300 mm with suction mouth and side brush, 2400 mm with roller brush and 3600 mm with dual-sided pick-up. Yellow mist nozzles, which according to Bucher use 20% less water, are standard, and water recycling that can save up to 900 litres of water per day is available as an option.

The 10-inch JVM screen is mounted on an articulated arm, and the door controller has up to six programmable buttons. With the wireless remote control, the driver can walk around the machine, empty the hopper and adjust the roller brush. The external electrical connectors are IP67, and the V65 is EUnited PM10/2.5 certified with four stars.
